Four Ways of Modern Poetry - Nathan A. Scott, Jr. Critical essays on Wallace Stevens, Robert Frost, Dylan thomas, W. H. Auden -- four poets chosen for their "audaciousness with which new terms for the Sacred are conceived or with which the old terms are drastically reconceived," in an age when
"The Heaven of Europe is empty, like a Schloss
Abandoned because of Taxes.."
and in Jersey City
"The steeples are empty
And so are the people..."
